Chapter 1653: Chapter 1077: Heroine of the Republic 51

Half a month later, Gu Cheng could walk around, but his hair and beard had grown out of control by then. Once, he went out and scared two kids, so he rarely went out again. Several times An Yi noticed he wanted to say something but held back, pretending not to see.

Finally, he couldn’t help but lower his face, "Can you help me cut my hair and shave? It’s covering my eyes, I’m afraid of scaring your daughter again."

An Yi glanced at him, "Are you asking me for a favor?"

Gu Cheng’s lips moved slightly, his eyes involuntarily widened. Being very macho, he was clearly displeased with the word ’ask.’

"If you want to cut, cut; why make it sound so unpleasant?"

"Oh, then I don’t want to," An Yi huffed, ignored him, and went about her own business, treating his words as if unheard.

This made Gu Cheng very dissatisfied, "Are you getting smart with me now?"

An Yi continued washing clothes, snorting disdainfully.

"A big man, with issues every day, who are you showing off to? When asking for something, act like it. Don’t think I’m here to revolve around you all day; us Northeast women aren’t that spineless!"

Gu Cheng was so angry that his fingers turned white from gripping the cane, pounding it twice on the ground, then turned and went back to the room.

Watching the curtain drop, An Yi pursed her lips.

"Nothing at all, this guy clearly has never dealt with women, really thinks women should revolve around men?"

Looking down at the dirty clothes he took off, she forcefully threw them onto the washboard, gnashing her teeth.

"Not getting married is the right choice, what is this mess, serving the old and then the young, am I to just revolve around the stove every day?"

Originally, I wanted to wait until his illness improved to send him away, but now An Yi reconsidered, "Hey, when are you planning to leave? My son is coming back soon."

Gu Cheng was still upset inside, but hearing this, his anger instantly evaporated, realizing he’s just staying under someone else’s roof; isn’t he being too presumptuous?

"My legs aren’t fully healed yet!"

"I don’t care about that; where’s your home? I’ll push the bicycle and take you back; you can’t let my son return without a place to stay, can you?"

"Don’t you have the west wing room?"

"I don’t have enough firewood, why are you so stubborn? Because of you, our stored firewood is running out, so clueless!"

Now An Yi was really fed up with this person. I’m missing my good days for this big shot, dealing with his complaints, what’s the point?

"I..., " thinking of paying money, but where’s the money? He not only doesn’t have money now, but also no grain. Being cared for this half-month, shouldn’t he be grateful?

Gu Cheng was embarrassed, this time truly feeling a bit shameless.

Yet he’s been missing for half a month, returning would require a series of investigations. If the wound isn’t healed, it could easily be discovered, which is not beneficial to him.

Now he’s not doing any decent work, just sweeping the streets, earning only tens of dollars a month, twenty-four jin of food rations, still living in a shack. If not for this accidental discovery of the D Te, not for long hours hunched over working, insufficiently fed and clothed, with his skills, how could he have been shot by them?

However, although he was injured, the D Te members weren’t much better off, four of them died, only one seriously injured survived. He doesn’t expect to have any commendation opportunity; although life is bitter, at least he isn’t disturbed. Behind closed doors is his own life; he only needs to manage his tasks daily. If others find out he shot the D Te, exposing himself aside, he might be targeted, which isn’t the life he wants.

As for the seriously injured one, who knows if he’s dead or not, had it not been for his injury, he wouldn’t have let him escape, leaving him so passive now.

Does he truly enjoy staying at someone else’s place? It’s just that there’s no choice!

Yet, he didn’t want to say too much to the family; the more they know, the less good it does them.

But since the host family had said this much, it’s inappropriate to linger further, so he agreed.

"Alright, I’ll leave tomorrow, but this current look is really not acceptable. Could you bother to give me a haircut?"

An Yi had spoken in anger, mainly because he took himself too seriously, spurting unreasonable words.

Who would’ve thought he’d agree to leave for real, leaving her a bit at a loss? You say the legs and feet aren’t quite right yet, can he manage himself?
